Today, there is a popular emergence of different organizations or training classes helping people deal with personal and social problems. Buddhism, an integral part of Chinese civilization with a large number of followers and believers, is playing an active part in addressing those problems. As a result, guiding its believers to practice Buddhism the right way will be extremely important when it comes to making society, as a whole, a better place. Studies of the first and second Yunhu Sutra Study Classes, hosted by Dajue Temple, provide a useful reference for Buddhists as regards to education of students and pedagogical techniques for professors and monastics. Changes in the everyday lives of students after the training classes clearly demonstrated how those classes, combining sutra study with real life examples, exhibit the positive impact of Humanistic Buddhism, which goes towards building a better self and a better world. Overall, this paper seeks to provide a useful reference source for developing educational models for Buddhists in Mainland China.
